I recently made a test-level that shows the use of background-and fogcolor fadings to achieve a decent day-to-night change. It also includes dynamic sun/moon and a lensflare effect and...a nice multitexture-terrain-shader.
The here shown method is suited for large outdoor levels that need a close clipping for higher fps count.

Of course there are many things to improove and I would be happy to hear from you how! As you know, I'm only able to do some kind of pseudo-scripting...ready for you to rework and post here

Credits go to Thorsten Kunze (terrainshader), Alexander Esslinger (lighting in terrainshader), Psionic (dwarf-model) and David Lancaster (modified template6 lensflare-script and flare pictures).

Note: Needs at least version 6.4... because of chunked terrain.

thats simply amazing...
fine thing is that this code can easily be changed...
and fitted...

I get an error loading the hmp

Edit: oops din't read it was for 6.4. heh now it work. Very good job

Wow!

ive tested the code, and it works with 6.3 aswell if you remove the terrain line and code a little around it. ill use that in my game, i dont use terrain but it works anyway...

Nice work Loopix, that's really
a great job you did there.
I'll surely use this in my project

I'm glad you like it Yes...my coding should be very easy to understand and adapt to your own needs...actualy anything that escapes my brain can't be hard to understand

Looks great from the screenshots, but can a 6.4 user publish this for us non-6.4 users so we can see the full glory?

WoW Loopix, this is a great contribution, many thanks.

It can be used in a lot of ways.

A bug i noticed is when you look at the sun directly it kind of flickers.
